RSVP at: \;\nhttp://www.mobileportland.com /events/rdtnorg-mobile-platform-change \;\n \;\nRenny Gleeson\, Gl obal Digital Strategies Director for Wieden+Kennedy\, will talk about ho w corporations and their products are being used as platforms for social change. Renny's work with Nokia and other W+K clients has given him a u nique vantage point to see how people are using products and infrastruct ure in ways these companies never imagined. \;\n \;\nMarcelino Alv arez\, Founder of Uncorked Studios\, found himself depressed by the deva station in Japan and frustrated with the U.S. news coverage of the subse quent radiation problems. He wondered if he and his colleagues could do something about it by having providing a way for people on the ground to report radiation levels. \;\n \;\nThe idea and the sketch that ac companied it spurred a frenetic 48 hours of development resulting in RDT N.org where people can report the radiation levels they are measuring an d other sources of radiation information is aggregated. \;\n \;\nI n the subsequent days\, Uncorked Studios has learned many lessons from t he differences in the way radiation is measured\, where best to get radi ation data\, and how to help put the radiation levels in perspective. 3\;\n \;\nWith collaborators around the world helping them\, they are now looking at expanding their efforts with a Kickstarter project to bu ild portable geiger counters that can interface with mobile devices. \;\n \;\nJoin us for these two unique perspectives on how we can util ize these devices in our pockets to make a difference in the world. \ ;\n \;\nOur Speakers \;\n \;\nMarcelino Alvarez\, Uncorked Stud ios \;\n \;\nMarcelino left the Miami sun for the Portland rain an d joined Wieden+Kenendy\, Portland as a Senior Interactive Producer on N ike and EA. After a year\, he was promoted to Executive Producer. During his 3.5 years at W+K\, he led interactive production on Nike\, Old Spic e\, Electronic Arts and Laika. During that time\, he also produced a few select projects\, including the CareerBuilder.com iPhone app\, the Nike Golf mobile website\, and most notably\, the Nike Chalkbot. \;\n \;\nWhile at W+K\, he and some friends started a creative side project c alled the Gorlochs. The Gorlochs have made several iPhone apps\, includi ng Boombox\, Boombox Pro\, and Kickball. In January 2010\, Marcelino lef t W+K to pursue Gorlochs as a full-time endeavor. The Gorlochs worked wi th W+K on several projects\, including the Procter &\; Gamble Winter Olympics interactive installation and the 2010 Nike Chalkbot. In 2011\, Marcelino founded Uncorked Studios to work on mobile and web development projects. \;\n \;\nRenny Gleeson\, Wieden+Kennedy \;\n \;\n Renny Gleeson began his career as a game developer\, but quickly moved t o advertising at Saatchi &\; Saatchi's digital arm. From there\, he c rossed over to dEliA*s before he was recruited by the NBA\, where he led their marketing team and created online platforms for their major spons ors. \;\n \;\nCurrently\, Renny is the Global Digital Strategies D irector for Wieden+Kennedy\, a cutting-edge advertising agency handling clients such as Nike\, Nokia and Target. He also writes a blog\, ourobor os\, on new media. Many brands remain cautious about their online presen ce in the face of alien ad space\, but as Renny says\, "\;If you don 't play\, you're out of the game."\;\n\nTags: mobile\, portland\, w+ k\, uncorkedstudios\, japan\, radiation\, rdtn\, nokia\, mobileportland\ n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250460396 URL:http://www.mobileportland.com/events/rdtnorg-mobile-platform-change SUMMARY:RDTN.org: Mobile as a Platform for Change LOCATION:Cloudability: 334 NW 11th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110327T191611Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110328T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110328T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110327T191611Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110328T133944Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250460404 DESCRIPTION:Tonight's Discussion \;\n \;\nUser Interface! \;\n&# 13\;\nHow can PortlandWiki present a more inviting user interface? \; \n \;\nAnd \;\n \;\nWiki blogs! \;\n \;\nCome enjoy some friendly discussion!

They can help us learn about people\, culture\, and context—why\, when\, and how our pro ducts might be used—and share this with a design team. Stories permeate UX techniques from user stories to storyboards. They come to full power when used with personas: the persona provides a fully envisioned lead ch aracter for the story\, a perspective through which interactions can be explored\, and a voice for the emotional reactions to design ideas. \ ;\n \;\nCreating stories for personas is a craft. They are not fictio n\, but are grounded in the data and user research that informs the pers ona. They are not fact\, but are imagined events\, shaped to explore pos sibilities. They are realistic\, but not perhaps real\, because they rep resent not just one individual or event\, but something that might happe n\, and that provides insights into a user experience. \;\n \;\nWe ’ll look at some structures that are helpful in crafting persona stories . And at questions like whether to write in first\, second\, or third pe rson—and when each is valuable. We’ll create a quick story and share it\ , showing how impromptu stories can help in design sessions.\n\nTags: co mputer\, ux\, interaction\, forum\, oregon\, portland\, chifoo\, user-ex perience\, story telling\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1 250465451 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/persona_stories_ weaving_together_qual_and_quant_for_a_richer_picture/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Meeting\, Persona Stories: Weaving Together Qual and Quant for a Richer Picture LOCATION:Connective DX Community Room: 2030 NW Pettygrove St\, Portland O R 97209 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140129T224809Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140305T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140305T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140129T224809Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140304T051417Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465603 DESCRIPTION:Show\, Don’t Tell: Storytelling Experience Design in Modern C omics with Mike Lonergan\, Intel \;\n \;\nComics are a collaborati ve storytelling effort—many talented individuals contribute to the succe ss or failure of each comic book\, much as a good design team leverages complementary talents in delivering a stunning product.

There are the inevitable boosters and utopian dreamers who will tell us and sell u s on the notion that this new technology will change our lives\, in both big and small ways: we will be cleaner\, safer\, happier\, more efficie nt\, more productive\, and of course\, more modern with all that implies . The message here is everything will be different\, better. There are a lso the equally inevitable naysayers and dystopian dreamers who worry al ong equally familiar but slightly different lines: we will be less socia l\, less secure\, more isolated\, and more homogenous. The message here is everything will be different\, but perhaps not so much better. Of cou rse\, running in between these larger conversations are the practicaliti es of living with new technologies—how much does it cost? where does it live? who should look after it? what will we will do with it? and\, in t he end\, what will we do without it? \;\n \;\nPerhaps it is no sur prise then that we worry\, that new technologies are frequently accompan ied by anxiety\, and sometimes even fear. In this talk\, Genevieve trace s the roots of these hopes\, fears and anxieties back through our histor y with machines—Vaucason’s Duck\, Edison’s Talking Doll\, the tea-cup ro bots of the Edo-period in Japan\, Frankenstein’s monster and Ned Ludd’s polemics are all part of this story. She takes an expansive view\, cross ing cultures and historical periods\, to create a genealogy of our socio -technical anxieties. Ultimately\, she suggests a framework for making s ense of these anxieties\, and in so doing\, a new way of thinking about the next generation of technologies we are designing.\n\nTags: computer\ , ux\, interaction\, forum\, oregon\, portland\, chifoo\, user-experienc e\, story telling\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504656 04 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/ducks_dolls_robo ts_a_genealogy_of_socio-technical_anxieties/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Meeting: Ducks\, Dolls & Robots: a Genealogy of Socio-Tech nical Anxieties LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140306T185609Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140412T160000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140412T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140306T185609Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140403T130748Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465799 DESCRIPTION:Join us at ProductCamp Portland 3.0\, Portland's annual " \;unconference'\, now in its third year\, where product managers\, produ ct marketers and product developers unite. \;\n \;\nWhy attend?&# 13\;\nProductCamp is a user-driven “unconference” that brings together p assionate product managers and marketers who are interested in collabora ting to share insights\, learning best practices\, and networking with o ther top professionals in the Portland product community.

We can think of these principles as if they’re part of a language. Con sistency and hierarchy are the grammar people learn while using an appli cation: the basic elements that define how a language is spoken. The “wo rds” we speak—that is\, the visual design characteristics we choose to c onvey a message—create an application’s personality. These principles ar e so fundamental to creating successful interfaces that we call them “me ta-principles.” While technology that affects interfaces changes\, the u nderlying meta-principles hold true. \;\n \;\nNimble Partners arri ved at these three meta-principles after years of heuristic reviews\, us ability studies\, and informal observation of digital applications. In t his talk\, Deborah will introduce these principles and show how they app ly in examples\, including a case study redesign of a web and mobile app lication to help users track diet and exercise.\n\nTags: computer\, ux\, interaction\, forum\, oregon\, portland\, chifoo\, user-experience\, st ory telling\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250465809 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/speaking_the_lan guage_of_meta-principles_consistency_hierarchy_and_personal/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Meeting: Speaking the Language of Meta-Principles: Consist ency\, Hierarchy\, and Personality LOCATION:Connective DX Community Room: 2030 NW Pettygrove St\, Portland O R 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140310T190125Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140604T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140604T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140310T190125Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140512T185156Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465810 DESCRIPTION:Epic FAIL: Takeways from the War Stories Project \;\nwith Steve Portigal\, Portigal Consulting \;\n \;\nAfter nearly two yea rs in gathering War Stories about the unusual\, comic\, tragic and other wise astonishing things that happen in fieldwork\, Portigal Consulting h as amassed a compelling archive about the user research experience.

The shift away from manufacturing has been happening for some time\, but lately the pace of change is increasing. New offerings make it easier and cheaper for indi viduals to become service providers\, and expanding networks are changin g the business landscape day by day. The level of coherency consumers de mand across an ever-increasing range of digital and analog interactions is on the rise\, too. Established businesses complain of being internall y siloed\, or not nimble enough to keep up\; agile startups struggle to escape price wars in commodified industries. The challenge for organizat ions large and small is actually the same: how do we connect better? How can we mean more? \;\n \;\nThe answer lies in understanding the n ature of change\, which our panel will investigate: \;\n \;\n--How can businesses learn to identify when change presents opportunity? \;\n \;\n--What does it take to continually understand and adapt to c hanging customers? \;\n \;\n--How do businesses know what to chang e to stay relevant? \;\n \;\nInnovation is essential to meeting to day’s challenges through new services or reimagining mature offerings. T he changes demanded aren’t limited to improving existing service offerin gs: innovation is the crucial ingredient to keep meeting changing market s and improve bottom lines\, online or in person. We hope you’ll join us for our discussion about what it means to keep up (and forge ahead) in the service economy. \;\n \;\nPANEL MEMBERS: \;\n \;\nKatie Dill\, Head of Experience Design \;\nAirbnb \;\nAs the Head of Air BnB's Experience Design\, Katie leads the interaction and visual design team defining Airbnb’s digital products and services.

Humanity’s experience is constantly shifting and so is the motivation behind our fears and goals \, and that shift changes how we experience and use things. Story allows one to put a finger on that pulse. Story gets right to the bottom of th ings\, it uncovers how the user will actually use the product in this ti me/place\, how they will experience it in their lives\, in their own hom e/office etc. Story is research above market “fill in the blank” researc h. It exposes rituals\, and when one works to streamline those rituals\, innovation enters.

Why? Because data about real people in real situati ons spurs creativity and innovation around practical challenges\, result ing in more useful and usable artifacts. \;\n \;\nFieldwork for HC I typically consists of firsthand observations made in the naturally occ urring environment of use (as opposed to studies performed in a controll ed environment). Many techniques are adapted from anthropology – particu larly ethnography. \;\n \;\nAs the mobile app and manufacturing in dustries grow in Oregon\, UX designers are increasingly recruited from o ut-of-state. The Computer-Human Interaction Forum of Oregon - CHIFOO - r ecognizes a local need for more basic training in this area. \;\n \;\nWorkshop Format \;\nThis practicum is a new offering by CHIFOO\, separate from the popular monthly guest lecture series. Developed with i ndustry experts Sara Bly and Françoise Brun-Cottan\, this unique pilot p rogram serves as a first test model for future educational programs by C HIFOO. \;\n \;\nTo conduct fieldwork well\, the researcher needs t he knowledge\, ability and access to observe the activities and complexi ties of people within the context of their day-to-day pursuits. This mak es it difficult to practice in a classroom-only or online environment. T he methodology is best learned by apprenticeship and experience. \;\n \;\nEach session builds on the prior one. Participants are expected to attend three private classroom sessions\, to complete group assignmen ts in between\, and to ‘report out’ on the experience in teams at the la st session\, an open CHIFOO event.

Ofte n the first line of defense in a corporate environment is the internal a udience and invested key stakeholders. \;\n \;\nDeveloping the sol ution is not enough. How you communicate the idea is just as important a s the solution itself. Communicating your approach at the right time wit h the right mediums\, and using the right level of fidelity to motivate the audience into action is an art. One needs to be an effective persuad er. One needs to be a provocateur. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \ ;\nLee Fain (@houseoffain) leverages the process of design provocation t o develop compelling stories of technology while building deeper relatio nships within 3M’s culture of innovation. He currently leads design-cent ric initiatives for 3M’s Electronics &\; Energy Business Group based in Saint Paul\, MN.

Why? Because data about real people in real situati ons spurs creativity and innovation around practical challenges\, result ing in more useful and usable artifacts. \;\n \;\nFieldwork for HC I typically consists of firsthand observations made in the naturally occ urring environment of use (as opposed to studies performed in a controll ed environment). Many techniques are adapted from anthropology – particu larly ethnography. \;\n \;\nAs the mobile app and manufacturing in dustries grow in Oregon\, UX designers are increasingly recruited from o ut-of-state. The Computer-Human Interaction Forum of Oregon - CHIFOO - r ecognizes a local need for more basic training in this area. \;\n \;\nWorkshop Format \;\nThis practicum is a new offering by CHIFOO\, separate from the popular monthly guest lecture series. Developed with i ndustry experts Sara Bly and Françoise Brun-Cottan\, this unique pilot p rogram serves as a first test model for future educational programs by C HIFOO. \;\n \;\nTo conduct fieldwork well\, the researcher needs t he knowledge\, ability and access to observe the activities and complexi ties of people within the context of their day-to-day pursuits. This mak es it difficult to practice in a classroom-only or online environment. T he methodology is best learned by apprenticeship and experience. \;\n \;\nEach session builds on the prior one.

Selling an idea\, creating a sens e of drama\, and maintaining engagement in an experience all stand to be nefit from a better understanding of storytelling. Because UX people are uniquely positioned to work across disciplines\, we can act as stewards of our stories as well as those of our users. Using examples and anecdo tes\, Jason will walk through a variety of ways we can bring the larger story to life while reinforcing it down to the smallest interactions. 3\;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\nJason Sack (@jasonsack) is current ly Lead User Experience Designer at the global agency Wieden + Kennedy. He moved to Portland two years ago from the Bay area\, where he led desi gn teams at notable Silicon Valley companies such as Adobe and Apple. He has worked with Nike\, American Express\, 3M\, Imation\, General Mills\ , and many more. \;\n \;\nSack began his design career in Minneapo lis\, where he built the User Experience practice at digital agency spac e150. He studied at the University of Minnesota and California State Uni versity\, and has taught interactive design at the Art Institutes Intern ational. \;\n \;\nJason is a passionate advocate of human-centere d design\, and has spoken throughout the country about emotional design\ , user experience\, and innovation. When he’s not working Jason composes music\, hacks wireless children’s toys\, and writes an occasional post in his blog at jasonsack.com.\n\nTags: computer\, ux\, interaction\, for um\, oregon\, portland\, chifoo\, user-experience\, story telling\n\nImp orted from: http://calagator.org/events/1250466816 URL:http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/big_story_little _story/ SUMMARY:CHIFOO Meeting: Big Story\, Little Story LOCATION:The Art Institute of Portland - Open Space: 1122 NW Davis St\, P ortland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140811T053504Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141112T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141112T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140811T053504Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140811T053504Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250466814 DESCRIPTION:Fieldwork for Human Computer Interaction: A 4-Part Workshop o n Ethnographically-Informed Fieldwork \;\n \;\nSara Bly and Franço ise Brun-Cottan \;\n \;\nA growing number of Human-Computer Intera ction (HCI) researchers and practitioners use the results of fieldwork t o guide the design and evaluate the user experience of interactive syste ms and technologies.

It produces a simple metric that is easy to communicate to business stakeholders and management in a consistent way\, encouraging IQ conversations where frequently overlook ed or excluded. This technique can be a valuable tool in the hands of D ata Scientists\, Analysts\, and Business Decision-Makers. \;\n \;\ nAbout the Speaker \;\nRodney Schackmann joined Intel in 1993\, with time in IT and business groups\, he joined CQN in 2010 where he is curre ntly a Sr. Staff Information Architect. \;\n \;\nHe is a frequent presenter at Information / Data Quality and Data Governance related conf erences. His history includes software development\, management\, consul ting\, mentoring\, and strategic technical leadership. \;\n \;\nHi s time at Intel has primarily been focused on Key Information efforts — driving cross-organizational teams to better solutions with higher Infor mation Quality results. Rodney currently runs the enterprise-wide Inform ation Quality program for CQN. \;\n \;\n \;\n Session 2 - An In troduction to Round Robin Databases \;\nAs technology professionals\, we see a increasing applications for telemetry\, systems monitoring\, a nd real-time trend analysis. In some situations\, unbounded storage of c ollected measurements may be impractical or unnecessary. Round Robin Dat abases are designed to store and maintain multiple time-series archives at varying resolutions. They employ methods that allow the storage of mo nths or even years of data. \;\n \;\nWe will explore one such tool \, RRDtool\, a project started at the Center for Applied Internet Data A nalysis. At first\, this open source tool helped with collecting and rep orting on internet traffic. Since that time\, it has inspired many other uses and tools. Our goal is to explore the retention decisions\, downsa mpling of data consistent with it's business value\, and how this approa ch is good for solving a specific class of problems. \;\n \;\nAbou t the Speaker \;\nChris Irvine is currently a Technology Consultant a nd founder at Threeprong.com\, specializing in custom workgroup solution s\, B2B integration\, and performance tuning.

We seek intros to VCs\, backchannels to clients\, ad vice from our peers and mentors. In normal times\, these bonds heavily r ely on in-person interactions — coffees\, lunches\, beers\, and 1:1's. & #13\;\n \;\nReading body language is a critical component to reinforc ement of those bonds. In our most vulnerable moments\, we want to ensure that the other party is present\, listening\, and empathizing. And beyo nd the 1:1 interactions\, in social places like our coffee shops and cow orking spaces\, we create room for serendipity — that chance encounter t hat leads to something new and unexpected\, whether it's a new business idea or a solution to an existing problem facing a member of our communi ty. \;\n \;\nDuring this pandemic\, we've been stripped of the abi lity to interact as normal. Sure\, we have all these video chat tools — but it's not a replacement of our in-person interactions\, just a digita l proxy. And while those proxies may suffice for our 1:1 meetings\, they certainly aren't helping with serendipity. \;\n \;\nSo how do we form community in a time of crisis? How do we create space for chance? A nd how can we come together to listen\, to engage\, to be present\, when many of us are already at our wits end staring at a video on a computer screen all day long? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Marcelino Alvarez\, Chief Product Officer at Fresh Consulting.

Rooted in the theory of complex systems\, th is book establishes the systemic properties of entrepreneurial ecosystem s and explains why their complex nature leads people to make predictable mistakes. As complex systems\, value creation occurs in startup communi ties primarily through the interaction of the parts—the people\, organiz ations\, resources\, and conditions involved—not the parts themselves. T his continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally\, prod ucing value in novel and unexpected ways. Through these complex\, emerge nt processes\, the whole becomes greater and substantially different tha n what the parts alone could produce. \;\n \;\n"\;Although we are living in a booming age for startups\, we need to think about the fu ture. When the boom times slow\, what will happen to our startup communi ties\, and how will we ensure that entrepreneurial success is still with in reach for everyone? This book provides a framework for answering thes e questions\, looking at startup communities as complex systems that—giv en the right resources and support—can help entrepreneurs succeed and be nefit society as a whole. \;\n \;\n"\;If you have been involve d in any way in building a startup community or entrepreneurial ecosyste m in your city\, The Startup Community Way is key to helping you underst and the next phase of your journey."\; \;\n \;\nThe book relea ses on July 28\, 2020.

This so rt of monitoring is a shocking departure from Apple’s former commitment to privacy and security for its users. Because these scans happen on the devices themselves\, they would bypass end-to-end encryption and establ ish a new precedent for law enforcement to access information on persona l devices. Apple is the only major tech company to take this incredibly dangerous step—but once they do\, others may be forced to follow. \;\ n \;\nThere is still time to stop this—we need to show massive opposi tion and demand Apple reverse course and NOT push this update.

In response\, the City of Portland commi ssioned a task force to study the issue and recommend actions that city commissioners can take to address the issue and solve the problem (reduc e gun violence). After several months of meetings\, the Focused Interven tion Team / Community Oversight Group (FIT/COG) submitted a recommendati on to Mayor Ted Wheeler in favor of adopting ShotSpotter gunshot detecti on technology. \;\n \;\nWhat is ShotSpotter\, and how does it work ? Are its results accurate and is the technology effective? Has it been successful in other cities that have implemented it? What are the trade- offs\, and would the benefits outweigh the costs — in terms of both fina ncial and negative impacts to the community? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a two-part event to learn more about ShotSpotter and other gunshot detec tion systems and forms of acoustic surveillance! Decide for yourself whe ther this tool might be effective in solving Portland's gun violence pro blem. \;\n \;\nDuring the event's first half\, learn from our pane lists how ShotSpotter and other gunshot detection technologies work and how they've performed in other cities. \;\n \;\nThe second half of the meeting will be a workshop\, where you can learn more about what ha ppens with the FIT/COG recommendation. Ways you can provide input into w hether ShotSpotter should be installed in Portland. \;\n \;\nBring your questions\, and come learn how you can make your voice heard on th is issue! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bi os: \;\n \;\nAje Amaechi (aka Je) (she/they) is a first-generation Jamaican-American born from Immigrant parents and raised in New Jersey.

You ’ll also see examples of VertueLab Entrepreneurs who are making it in Cl imateTech. VertueLab is a ClimateTech non-profit that is focused on help ing Pacific Northwest ClimateTech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. \;\n \;\nIdeas come from anywhere\, and individuals with those ideas often don’t have the entrepreneurial awareness\, tools\, or guidance to get started in their exploration. Also\, entrepreneurship is new in many communities and they need a jumpstart to gain the right knowledge and c onnections to move forward. \;\n \;\nThe best way to discover\, le arn\, and explore entrepreneurship is through a hands-on approach and me eting others that are building technology and can explain by showing. Ju mpStart Weekends are designed to be a comfortable space to gather curiou s individuals and introduce them to tools and methods they can use to ex plore their ideas and get instant feedback and mentorship\, all packaged over a weekend. \;\n \;\nAlthough it's in our mission to address the impacts of climate change\, entrepreneurship is for everyone. We wan t to increase access to entrepreneurship\, and provide the tools and kno wledge to everyone so that we are all part of the solution. So no prior knowledge of ClimateTech is required\, all you need is an idea and the c uriosity to know more and explore in a weekend of fun\, we encourage you to apply! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: free\, startup\, startups\, entrepre neur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, cofounder\, cofounders\, por tland\, pdx\, cleantech\, clean tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250480951 URL:https://www.vertuelab.org/45-camp SUMMARY:45 Camp Jumpstart Weekend LOCATION:Briq Studio: 209 Northwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480992 DESCRIPTION:It's another opportunity to meet the folks from the [Portland Startups Slack](https://pdxslack.com) in real life!\n\nTags: free\, sta rtup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, co founder\, cofounders\, portland\, pdx\, beer\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250480992 URL:https://www.meetup.com/social_beer/events/299661799/ SUMMARY:#social_beer (Portland Startups Slack IRL) LOCATION:Beulahland: 118 NE 28th Ave\, Portland Or 97232 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240220T215446Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240326T110000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240326T090000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240220T215446Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240220T215446Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480978 DESCRIPTION:This month we are back at Taborspace.

This month\, we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Joe Co le\, an honored member of our community\, who will be presenting on Teac hing Physical AI with the PARTS Common Platform. \;\n \;\nAbstract \;\n \;\nAt Rose City Robotics\, we use hands-on robotics to brid ge the gap between abstract AI and real-world autonomy. In our Engineer Boldly: AI Robotics Sprint\, students learn physical AI by building and programming mobile robots that perceive\, map\, and act in the physical world using modern tools such as ROS 2\, LiDAR-based SLAM\, and deep-lea rning-based perception. \;\n \;\nThis talk describes how we use th e PARTS Common Platform robot as a shared\, open foundation for teaching embodied intelligence. Students train and deploy object-detection model s\, experiment with imitation and reinforcement learning\, and confront the real challenges of noisy sensors\, imperfect models\, and hardware c onstraints. By learning AI directly on physical robots\, participants de velop an intuition for autonomy that cannot be gained from simulation al one. \;\n \;\nI’ll share lessons learned\, example student project s\, and why accessible\, community-designed platforms like the Common Pl atform are essential for educating the next generation of roboticists.&# 13\;\n \;\nWho Should Attend \;\nThis presentation is designed for robotics enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you're a professional engin eer\, a hobbyist\, a student\, or simply curious about the intersection of AI and robotics\, you'll find valuable insights in this talk. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\nDr. Joseph (Joe) Cole is a distinguishe d figure in the Portland robotics community and an honored member of P.A .R.T.S. With a Ph.D. in Applied Physics\, Joe brings over 20 years of ex perience developing computer vision and machine learning algorithms. \;\n \;\nAs the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Rose City Robotics\, Joe is currently focused on building robots for many tasks. H is extensive background includes work at Northrop Grumman\, Applied Mate rials\, and YorLabs\, specializing in image processing and applied physi cs. \;\n \;\nJoe has been a valued contributor to the Portland Are a Robotics Society\, regularly sharing his expertise through presentatio ns and helping to bridge the gap between professional robotics developme nt and our local community. \;\n \;\nAbout P.A.R.T.S. \;\nThe P ortland Area RoboTics Society (P.A.R.T.S.) is THE longest-running roboti cs meetup in Portland. We are an Oregon non-profit formed to help those interested in learning about and building robots. Our monthly meetings a re open to the public and welcome everyone from professionals to amateur s\, students to professors\, engineers to artists. \;\nP.A.R.T.S. mem bers explore all aspects of robotics and work toward expanding communica tion between robot enthusiasts.

You know AI can write code. You've used Copilot\, C laude\, or ChatGPT to ship faster\, debug\, or figure out what a library is doing. That part is well-trodden ground. \;\n \;\nThis talk ex plores something different: using agentic AI as a general-purpose proble m-solving tool. Yes\, the tool is called Claude Code. But what I want to show is what happens when you stop thinking of it as "\;the thing t hat writes my code"\; and start thinking of it as "\;the thing t hat can build me something useful in 20 minutes."\; \;\n \;\nT hat's the idea behind disposable software: small\, single-purpose tools you spin up to solve one specific problem\, use as long as you need\, an d then move on. There's a whole class of problems sitting on your plate right now that don't warrant a project plan\, a sprint\, or a code revie w. They need someone to build the thing and move on. \;\n \;\nIn t his session\, we'll go over how to set up an agentic environment\, dive into a real-world problem\, and then spend a good amount of time on Q&am p\;A and diving into real solutions that people are solving today with a gentic AI. \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\nLucas Bennington is the founder of Codi Tech\, an AI-native software development agency. Over the past three years\, he's built a practice around helping teams turn ideas into working products using AI and modern development tools. His team uses A I across every part of how they operate\, from project intake and scopin g to building internal tools and delivering client work. Lucas brings a practitioner's perspective: he's not talking about AI in the abstract\, he's building with it every day. \;\n\n\nTags: portland\, AI\, pdx\, pjug\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482600 URL:https://www.meetup.com/pdxjug/events/314445624/ SUMMARY:Agentic AI - Portland Java User Group LOCATION:ProFocus: 10200 Southwest Eastridge Street\, Portland OR 97225 U S SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260506T173936Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260604T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260604T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260506T173936Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260506T173936Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482563 DESCRIPTION:Join us for OBI’s Accelerate Biotech Happy Hour on Thursday\, June 4\, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. \;\n \;\nKick off June with OBI’s Accelerate Happy Hour!
